“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”
                                                               -Anais Nin

Alexi Murdoch; ‘All My Days’

 
This doesn’t feel like Casey  
             And I’m not sure how long it’s been  
                                                        Since I lost Her

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods;
There is a rapture on the lonely shore;
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more...
- Lord Byron
